1. GYROLASELLA MIRILINEATA new species. 



Female: — Leugth. l.lill mm. I'ronotum i-onico-tria)igular but shorter than with 

 Atoiieisoma. 



Golden yellow, the wings hyaline, tlie following lemarkable dark metallic green nnirkings: 

 Dorsal edge of scape, pedicel dorsad excejit at apex; a spot cephalad and ciindad of each lateral 

 ocellus; an abbreviated line transverselv fnnn center of occiput; a narrow line down lateral 

 aspect of pronotum nearly Joining the furroi\s ami a small triangular spot at cephalic margin 

 of scutum half way to lateral margin from meson and apparently forming a semicircular loop 

 across pronotum, tlie Ioo|i part faint as if black showing through parchment; the parapsidal 

 furrows over half way to .scutellum, the green narrowing eaudad; a ver.v narrow, elongate, 

 linear spot from cephalic apex of each axilla and extending a little over half way to caudal 

 end; cephalic margin of scutellum narrowly, the line not complete but laterad turned abruptly, 

 cleanly eaudad for some little distance and slightly so at meson; cephalic margin and median 

 line of propodeum narrowly, the line of cei)halic margin with a triangular spot against it not 

 far from meson, from thence laterad thickened; an<l seven narrow erossstriiies on abdomen, 

 the first represented by a pair of transverse marginal dots; the second connected along meson 

 with a minute black patch at immediate base; :!-•") connected narrowly along the meson; 2-4 

 each with a transverse marginal dot ,iust opposite each end, hence shorter than 5; 7 smallest, 

 thinnest, just before apex, interrupted at meson; II triangularly ccmvc.xed cephalad. its sides 

 oblique and the ends obliquely truncated or footlike; :'. a little com-ave. Tip of ovipositor 

 valves black. Funicle 1 somewhat longer than wide.

2. GYROLASELLA PAX new species. 



Female: — Length, about l.-o mm. 



Similar to f estiva but differing as follows: The narrow line of green across vertex in 

 front of cephalic ocellus is continued ventrad half way down the eyes; cephalic margin of 

 scutum is rather broadly green; inner margins of iiarapsides not green (the narrow line down 

 center of each axilla nearlv reaches to ctunlal en.l) ; the median line of scutellum the same; 

 the stripe across cephalic margin of propodeum is i.iterrupted at the meson; on the abdomen 

 there are three marginal dots, one dot just c;iudad of the ends of each of the first three stripes.
